Preferred term

flag burning  

Definition

  • Since the colonial era desecration of the flag has brought into conflict the right of expression and the protection of a national symbol. The provocative nature of the act, as it generates feelings of revulsion in many people who are angered by the desecration of a beloved national symbol, heightens the need to distinguish between conduct that is protected speech and conduct that is criminal. [Source: Encyclopedia of Criminal Justice Ethics; Flag Burning]
